Big Games of 2011: THQ Awards Gamers $12,000 in Prizes in Red Faction: Armageddon Contest
New shooter gets a free Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 demo on May 3
One of the big games of 2011 gets a free demo on May 3 and a new contest with $12,000 in prizes. THQ’s Red Faction: Armageddon, which shoots its way to stores for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 7, will be available early for Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers courtesy of the new playable demo. THQ is also sponsoring a “Countdown to Win” contest that runs from now through launch and will reward lucky players with $12,000 in prizes. The game’s developer talks about this latest installment in the sci-fi series in this exclusive video interview.
In the demo, consumers will be introduced to Darius Mason and fight their way through the Martian sewers and an oncoming alien infestation. Meanwhile, Darius must clear his name as the colonists have blamed him for unleashing the alien threat that has ravaged the underground cities of Mars.
Players will have at their disposal the Nano Forge as they combat alien invaders with concussive blasts and core-shattering tremblers. Rebuild all that you destroy with the Nano Forge’s incredible Reconstruction ability. Finally, throw entire buildings at your enemies with Red Faction’s signature weapon, the Magnet Gun.
